You can configure outbound request logging to log basic, elevated, or all HTTP request
and response information for specific domains.
To configure the log level for a REST method or SOAP message function, navigate to the record
you want to configure and click the Set log level related link, then
select a log level for the current record.

To modify the log level for multiple outbound requests, navigate to System Web ServicesHTTP Log Levels and change the log levels using the list. All outbound requests that have been
configured with a specific log level are listed.

You can override the log level for all outbound requests using the properties
glide.outbound_http_log.override and
glide.outbound_http_log.override.level. Use these properties only for a
limited time when troubleshooting.

You can set the log level in a script using the setLogLevel() function from
the SOAPMessageV2 and RESTMessageV2 APIs. For more information about using these APIs, refer to
the API documentation.
